*Td  ttie  General  Council  of  the  City  of  Louisville,  Kentudcy. 
Gentlemen:  (May  26, 1921.) 

'The  Board  of  Education  of  Louisville,  Kentucky,  acting 
under  the  direction  and  authority  of  An  Act  of  the  General 
Assembly  approved  March  15,  1912  (Ky.  Sts.  Sec.  2978b)  here- 
with presents  to  your  honorable  body  resolutions  unanimously 
adopted  at  a  regular  meeting  of  the  Board  held  on  May  3, 
1921,  declaring  in  substance  that  the  Board  in  the  proper  con- 
duct and  management  of  the  Public  Schools  of  the  City,  finds 
itself  in  serious  need  of  additional  school  sites,  schooi  build- 
ings and  enlarged  school  yards ;  that  the  fund  raised  annually 
from  other  sources  of  income  is  not  sufficient  to  meet  these 
needs ;  and  that  after  a  careful,  conservative  estimate  of  the 
probable  amount  required  to  provide  adequately  for  the  press- 
ing wants  of  the  school  system,  the  Board  had  concluded  that

(I)  GAS  AND  ELECTRICITY. 
Authorizing  Contract  for  Mixed  Natural  and  Artificial  Gas* 

AN  ORDINANCE  authorizing  the  Mayor  of  the  City  of  Louis- 
ville on  behalf  of  said  City  to  enter  into  and  execute  a  con- 
tract with  the  Louisville  Gas  and  Electric  Company, 

authorizing  said  company  to  supply  a  mixture  of  natural 
and  artificial  gas  to  its  consumers  in  the  City  of  Louisville. 

Be  it  ordained  by  the  General  Council  of  the  City  of  LomsviUs : 

That  the  Mayor  of  the  City  of  Louisville  for  and  on  bdhalf 

of  the  said  city  be,  and  he  is  hereby  authorized,  empowered 
and  directed  to  enter  into  and  execute  a  contract  with  the 
Louisville  Gas  and  Electric  Company,  a  corporation,  in  words 
and  figures  as  follows,  to-wit: 

THIS  AGREEMENT,  made  and  entered  into  this  

day  of  January,  1920,  by  and  between  the  City  of  Louisville,  a 
municipal  corporation,  hereinafter  called  the  "City,"  party 
of  the  first  part,  and  the  Louisville  Gas  and  Electric  Company, 
a  corporation,  of  Louisville,  Kentucky,  hereinafter  called  the 
"Gas  Company,"  party  of  the  second  part, 

WITNESSETH,  that  whereas,  the  Gas  Company  repre- 
sents that  it  has  installed  a  pipe  line  five  (5)  miles  in  length, 
and  six  (6)  miles  of  fiefd  lines  to  a  new  natural  gas  field  in 
Johnson  and  Magoffin  counties,  Kentucky,  and  has  connected 
said  line  with  its  main  line,  and  installed  additional  com- 


GAS  AND  ELECTRICITY 


pressor  machinery,  at  a  cost  to  the  Gas  Company  of  approxi- 
mately one  hundred  and  fifty  tliousand  ($150»000)  dollars, 
whereby  it  is  now  furnishing  by  reason  of  said  connection,  an 
additional  three  million  (3,000,000)  cubic  feet  of  natural  gas 
per  day  to  the  City  of  Louisville,  and 

WHEREAS,  said  Gas  Company  represents  that  during  the 
present  winter  it  has  so  far  furnished  twenty-five  per  cent 
(26%)  more  gas  per  day  on  very  cold  days  to  its  consumers, 
than  during  any  previous  winter,  and 

WHEREAS,  approximately  ninety-five  per  eent  (d5%)  of 
said  emsumers  are  wholly  dependent  upon  gas  for  the  purpose 
of  cooking,  and  a  large  number  for  heating  their  homes,  and 
it  is  desirable  to  meet  and  remedy  the  lack  of  a  sufficient  supply 
of  natural  gas  to  meet  the  demand  in  the  only  way  feasible  at 
this  time,  namely,  by  such  use  of  artificial  gas  as  will  relieve 
existing  conditions,  and 

WHEREAS,  the  Gas  Company  has  agreed  to  manufacture 
and  supply  such  amount  of  artificial  gas  as  is  provided  herein 
and  upon  the  terms  specified  herein ; 

NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  eonsideration  of  the  premises  and 
in  order  to  remedy  the  aforesaid  conditions,  it  is  agreed  by  and 
between  the  parties  as  follows: 

§  1.  When,  by  reason  of  low  temperature,  the  demand  for 
gas  exceeds  twelve  million  (12,000,000)  cubic  feet  per  day, 
and  provided  that  not  less  than  twelve  million  (12,000,000) 
cubic  feet  per  day  of  natural  gas  is  at  that  time  being  furnished 
daily  to  its  consumers  (unless  prevented  by  a  temporary 
breakage  in  the  pipes  of  the  company  or  floods  or  other  Acts 
of  God  beyond  the  control  of  the  Gas  Company,  the  Gas 
Inspector,  or  other  agents  and  inspectors  hereafter  to  be 
appointed  by  the  Mayor  for  this  purpose,  to  be  the  sole  judge 
as  to  whether  or  not  such  emergency  exists)  the  Gas  Company 
shall  have  the  right  to  manufacture  and  mix  with  its  natural 
gas,  not  to  exceed  three  million  five  hundred  thousand  (8,500,- 
000)  cubic  feet  per  day,  of  artificial  gas,  and  to  furnish  such 
mixed  gas  to  its  consumers.  It  is  represented  by  the  Gas 
Company  that  in  order  to  manufacture  artificial  gas,  it  is 
necessary  to  keep  the  artificial  coal  gas  plant  of  the  Gas 
Company  hi  contmuous  operation  on  a  minimum  basis  of  seven 


GAS  AND  ELECTRICITY 


1255 


hundred  and  fifty  thousand  (750,000)  cubic  feet  per  day  for 
the  reason  that  it  requires  approximately  two  weeks  to  raise 
the  necessary  temperature  in  said  plant  to  produce  artificial 
gas,  and  if  the  production  was  entirely  stopped  there  would 
be  an  enforced  delay  of  at  least  two  weeks  before  the  produc- 
tion could  be  again  resumed,  and  for  this  reason  it  is  agreed 
by  the  parties  hereto  that  at  all  times  during  the  continuance 
of  this  contract  as  much  as  ^even  hundred  and  fifty  thousand 
(750,000)  cubic  feet  per  day  of  such  artificial  gas  may  be 
mixed  with  the  natural  gas  furnished  by  the  Gas  Company, 
provided  that  not  less  than  twelve  million  (12,000,000)  cubic 
feet  per  day  of  natural  gas  is  at  all  times  being  furnished 
daily  to  its  consumers,  when  demanded. 

{2.  The  natural  gas  now  furnished  to  its  consumers  by 

the  Gas  Company  averages  about  eleven  hundred  and  fifty 
(1,150)  British  thermal  units  to  the  cubic  foot  at  the  point  of 
consumption.  The  artificial  gas  manufactured  and  furnished 
hereunder  shall  not  have  less  than  five  hundred  and  fifty 
(560)  British  thermal  units  to  the  cubic  foot;  and  shall  comply 
with  the  standards  and  regulations  of  the  Bureau  of  Stand- 
ards, Washington,  D.  C,  as  to  purity;  and  that  the  quality 
of  mixed  gas  furnished  to  its  consumers  hereunder  shall  not 
be  less  than  one  thousand  (1,000)  British  thermal  units  to  the 
cubic  foot  as  furnished  at  the  point  of  consumption,  unless  by 
reason  of  the  temporary  shortage  of  natural  gas  caused  by 
temporary  breakage  of  pipes,  floods  or  other  acts  of  God, 
beyond  the  control  of  the  company,  the  proportion  of  artificial 
gas  should  thereby  be  temporarily  greater  during  such  time. 
The  Gas  Inspector,  or  other  agents  and  inspectors  hereafter 
to  be  appointed  by  the  Mayor  for  this  purpose,  shall  be  the 
sole  judge  as  to  whether  or  not  there  has  been  such  temporary 
breakage  of  pipes,  floods  or  other  acts  of  God,  beyond  the  con- 
trol of  the  Company. 

It  is  further  agreed  that  the  heat  units  and  volume  of  the 
said  natural  and  artificial  gas  shall  be  tested  at  such  times 
and  places  as  may  be  desired  by  the  city,  and  the  Gas  Com- 
pany agrees  and  cons^ts  that  in  nnaking  aaid  tests  the  Gas 
Inspector  of  the  City  of  Louisville  may  examine  the  plant, 
records,  books,  appliances,  measuring  stations  and  machinery 


1256 


GAS  AND  ELECTRICrnr 


af  said  Gas  Ck>inpany.  If  any  of  the  tests  made  by  the  Gas 
Inspector  show  that  the  quality,  heat  units,  quantity,  volume 
or  purity  of  the  natural,  artificial  or  mixed  gas  is  not  up  to 

any  of  the  requirements  as  stated  herein,  then  in  that  event 
this  agreement  may  be  declared  void  at  the  option  of  the 
Mayor. 

§3.  It  is  further  agreed  between  the  parties  that  the 
artificial  gas  and  mixed  gas  authorized  hereunder  shall  be 
furnished  to  its  consumers  by  the  Gas  Company  at  jbhe  same 
price  now  charged  and  allowed  by  its  franchise  for  natural 
gas ;  except  that  where  any  single  consumer  uses  mor6  than 
one  hundred  thousand  (100,000)  cubic  feet  of  such  mixed  gas 
per  consumer's  month,  and  not  in  excess  of  two  hundred  thou- 
sand (200,000)  cubic  feet  of  such  gas  per  consumer's  month, 
an  additional  charge  of  twenty  (20c)  per  thousand  (1,000) 
cubic  feet  on  the  entire  amount  used,  may  be  made  up  by  the 
Gas  Company  against  such  consumers,  and  where  any  single 
consumer  uses  mixed  gas  in  excess  of  two  hundred  thousand 
(200,000)  cubic  feet  per  consumer's  month,  an  extra  charge 
of  thirty  (30c)  cents  per  thousand  (1,000)  cubic  feet  on  the 
entire  amount  used  may  be  made  by  the  Gas  Company  against 
such  consumer.  The  Gas  Company  represents  to  the  City  that 
only  approximately  three  hundred  and  one  (301)  consumers 
use  more  than  one  hundred  thousand  (100,000)  cubic  feet  per 
month  during  extremely  cold  weather  and  that  the  rate  will 
only  effect  approximately  six  tenths  (6/10)  of  one  (1)  p«r 
cent  of  all  its  consumers. 

§4.  It  is  expressly  agreed  and  understood  between  the 
parties  hereto,  that  this  agreement  shall  in  no  wise  affect  or 
be  construed  to  affect  the  existing  franchise  of  the  Gas  CJom- 
pany,  or  any  of  its  terms,  or  conditions ;  and  shall  not  in  any 
way  affect  or.  be  construed  to  affect  any  pending  litigation 
between  the  City  and  the  Gas  Company;  and  shall  not  be 
deemed  to  be  in  any  way  an  agreement,  determination  or 
admission  on  the  part  of  the  City  that  the  Gas  Company  has 
used  all  reasonable  precautions  and  measures  necessary  to 
furnish  natural  gas  as  provided  for  by  its  said  franchise,  or 
is  unable  to  supply  natural  gas  under  its  said  franchise 
through  no  fault  of  its  own  in  sufficient  quantities  to  meet  the 


GAS  AND  ELEGTRICmr 


1257 


demand  for  same;  the  sole  purpose  of  this  agreement  being 
to  authorize  the  Gas  Company,  during  the  times  mentioned 
herdn  and  upon  the  terms  and  ccmditions  mentioned  herein, 

to  supplement  the  supply  of  natural  gas  as  herein  stipulated. 

§  5.  This  contract  shall  expire  and  be  of  no  effect,  and  the 
Gas  Company  shall  have  no  rights  hereunder,  on  and  after 
April  1,  1920.  Approved  Fehrmry  6,  1920.

WHEREAS,  it  appears  from  an  investigation  made  by 
the  Board  of  Public  Works  of  the  City  of  Louisville,  that  the 
Gas  Company  has  taken  the  following  precautions  and  meas- 
ures to  furnish  natural  gas  to  the  city,  and  made  the  foUow- 
ing  improvements  and  developments: 

(a)  An  8  inch  pipe  line,  28  miles  in  length,  has  been  built 
from  the  present  line  at  Sitka,  Kentucky,  to  Maytown,  Ken- 
tucky, in  Floyd  county,  and  necessary  compressor  stations 
and  connections  installed.  It  has  drilled  a  number  of  wells 
in  this  territory  and  is  now  drilling  an  additional  number  of 
wells  in  the  effort  to  obtain  a  larger  supply  of  gas.  The  Com- 
pany is  now  obtaining  approximately  two  million  (2,000,000) 
cubic  feet  per  day  from  this  field  which  will  later  be  increased 
to  approximately  five  million  (5,000,000)  cubic  feet  per  day 
after  January  1.  All  the  operations  in  these  fidds  are  cm- 
ducted  in  the  name  of  the  Pennagrade  Oil  ft  Gas  Company, 
but  under  the  supervision  and  direction  of  the  Louisville  Gas 
and  Electric  Company.  The  entire  expense  is  being  borne  by  the 
local  company. 

(b)  The  local  company  has  completed  a  compressor  or 
booster  station  of  three  units  on  its  mahi  Ihie  at  Whichester, 
Ky.,  being  a  point  about  midway  between  the  West  Vir- 
ginia border  line  and  Lrouisville.  This  booster  station  in- 
creases the  capacity  of  its  main  line  from  twelve  million 
(12,000,000)  to  eighteen  million  (18,000,000)  or  twenty  mil- 
lion (20,000,000)  cubic  feet  par  day. 

(c)  Last  winter  the  Gas  Company  built  a  new  pipe  line 
7  miles  in  length,  from  the  Evans  g'as  fields  at  Win,  Ky., 
in  Johnson  county,  to  their  main  line.  Since  last  winter  the 
company  has  installed  an  additional  compressor  on  this  line. 
TMs  development  makes  an  additional  supply  of  three  and 
one  half  million  (3,500,000)  cubic  feet  of  gas  per  day  available 
for  the  City  of  liouisville. 

(d)  The  Gas  Company  has  entered  into  a  contract  with 
the  United  Fuel  &  Gas  Company  of  West  Virginia,  the  pro- 


GAS  AND  ELECTRICITY 


1269 


ducing  company  from  whom  it  gets  its  source  of  supply  from 
West  Virginia,  to  pay  an  additional  charge  of  6  cents  per 
thousand  (1,000)  cubic  feet  for  the  natural  gas  obtained  from 
this  company,  provided  the  United  Company  furnishes  from 
its  field  twelve  million  (12,000,000)  cubic  feet  of  gas  per  day 
when  needed  in  this  city.  ^ 

(e)  The  Gas  Company  is  still  making  every  effort  to  ob- 
tain new  gas  and  is  constantly  on  the  lookout  for  new  gas 
fields  and  it  affirms  its  intention  to  secure  additional  gas  as 
soon  as  sufficient  amounts  of  gas  have  been  developed  to  justify 
the  expenditure. 

The  improvements  above  mentioned  cost  as  follows : 

Win  pipe  line  and  compressor  station,  etc.  $  160,000 

Pennagrade  pipe  line  and  compressor  station,  etc.   850,000 

Winchester  Booster  Station  „   240,000 

Making  a.  total  of.   $1,250,000 

AND  WHEREAS,  the  Gas  Company  has  agreed  to  manu- 
facture and  supply  such  amount  of  artificial  gas  as  is  provided 
herein  and  upon  the  terms  specified  herein; 

NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of  the  premises  and 
in  order  to  relieve  existing  conditions  among  the  users  of  gas 
in  this  city  and  to  meet  and  remedy,  during  the  period  stated 
herein,  the  lack  of  a  sufficient  supply  of  natural  gas  to  meet 
the  demand,  it  is  agreed  by  and  between  the  parlies  as  follows: 

§  1.  When,  by  reason  of  low  temperature,  the  demand  for 
gas  exceeds  twelve  million  (12,000,000)  cubic  feet  per  day,  and 
provided  that  not  less  than  twelve  million  (12,000,000)  cubic 
feet  per  day  of  natural  gas  is  at  that  time  being  furnished 
daily  to  its  consumers  (unless  prevented  by  a  temporary 
breakage  in  the  pipes  of  tiie  company  or  floods  or  other  aete 
of  God  beyond  the  control  of  the  Gas  Company,  the  Gas  In- 
spector, or  other  agents  and  inspectors,  hereafter  to  be  ap- 
pointed by  the  Mayor  for  this  purpose,  to  be  the  sole  judge 
as  to  whether  or  not  such  emergency  exists),  the  Gas  Company 
shall  have  the  right  to  manufacture  and  mix  with  its  natural 
Ws,  not  to  exceed  four  million  five  hundred  thousand 
(4,600,000)  cubic  feet  per  day  of  artificial  gas,  and  to  furnish 
such  mixed  gas  to  its  consumers.   The  Gas  Company  hereby 


1980 


GAS  AND  ELBCTRICmr 


agrees  to  furnish  said  amount  of  four  million  five  hundred 
thousand  (4,600,000)  cubic  feet  of  gas  at  all  times  when  made 
necessary  by  the  demand. 

§2.  The  heating  value  of  the  artificial  gas  furnished 
hereunder  shall  not  be  less  than  550  British  thermal  units  to 
the  cubic  foot  and  the  heating  value  of  the  mixed  gas  fur- 
nished hereunder  shall  be  at  all  times  not  less  than  950  British 
thermal  units  to  the  cubic  foot  at  the  point  of  consumption, 
unless  by  reason  of  the  temporary  shortage  of  natural  gas 
caused  by  temporary  breakage  of  pipes,  floods  or  other  acts 
of  God  beyond  the  control  of  the  company,  the  proportion  of 
artificial  gas  should  thereby  be  temporarily  greater  during 
such  time.  The  Gas  Inspector,  or  other  ag^ts  and  inspectors 
hereafter  to  be  appointed  by  the  Mayor  for  this  purpose,  shall 
be  the  sole  judge  as  to  whether  or  not  there  has  been  such 
temporary  breakage  of  pipes,  floods  or  other  acts  of  God,  be- 
yond the  control  of  the  company.  Such  mixed  gas  furnished 
shall  comply  with  the  standards  and  regulations  of  the  Bureau 
of  Standards,  Washington,  D.  C,  as  to  purity. 

It  is  further  agreed  that  the  heat  units  and  volume  of  the 
said  natural  and  artificial  gas  and  tiie  purity  thereof  shall  be 
tested  by  the  Gas  Company  at  such  times  and  places  as  may 
be  designated  by  the  city  and  a  record  kept  of  such  tests,  and 
the  Gas  Inspector  of  the  city  shall  test  the  heat  units  and 
volume  of  the  said  natural  and  artificial  gas  and  the  purity 
thereof,  and  the  Gas  Company  agrees  and  consents  that  in 
making  said  tests  the  Gas  Inspector  of  the  City  of  Louisville 
may  examine  the  records  of  the  tests  made  by  the  Gas  Com- 
pany, the  plant,  records,  books,  appliances,  measuring  sta- 
tions, and  machinery  of  said  Gas  Company.  If  any  of  the 
tests  made  by  the  Gas  Inspector  show  that  the  quality,  heat 
units,  quantity,  volume  or  purity  of  the  natural,  artificial  or 
mixed  gas  is  not  up  to  any  of  the  requirements  as  stated 
herein,  then  and  in  that  event  this  agreement  may  be  declared 
void  at  the  option  of  the  Mayor. 

§3.  It  is  further  agreed  between  the  parties  that  the 
artificial  gas  and  mixed  gas  authorized  hereunder  shall  be 
furnished  to  its  consumers  by  the  Gas  Company  at  the  same 
price  now  charged  and  allowed  by  its  franchise  for  natural

and  the  Fifteenth  day  of  March  1921.  For  those  customers 
whose  meters  when  read  cover  part  of  the  time  not  included  in 
the  above  period,  the  quantity  of  gas  burned  at  i^e  differait 
rates  shall  be  calculated  as  being  in  proportion  to  the  number  of 
days  elapsing  between  the  beginning  or  ending  of  the  rate  for 
mixed  gas  and  the  day  when  the  meter  is  actually  read.  Pro- 
vided, however,  that  if  any  customer  shall  believe  that  the 
prorating  by  the  number  of  days  (as  proyided  for  above)  will, 
in  his  case,  work  a  hardship  on  him,  he  may,  in  Writing,  de- 
mand that  his  meter  shall  be  actually  read  as  nearly  as  pos- 
sible to  the  dates  provided  for  the  beginning  and  the  ending

amount  of  mixed  gas  actually  consumed  by  him. 

The  rates  set  out  in  this  ordinance  are  the  net  rates  to  be 
paid  by  the  consumer.  Bills  Aall  be  made  out  for  amounts 
enough  in  excess  of  these  rates  as  to  yield  the  rates  provided 

for  after  a  discount  of  10  per  cent  has  been  deducted  for

thousand  cubic  feet  on  the  amount  used  between  ten  thousand 
(10,000)  cubic  feet  and  twenty  thousand  (20,000)  cubic  feet,  and 
an  additiimal  chaige  <rf  twenty-«ve  (25)  cents  per  one  thousand

gas  sold  between  the  date  of  the  execution  of  this  contract  and 
the  15th  d^y  of  March,  1922.  For  those  consumers  whose 
meters  when  read  cover  part  of  the  time  not  included  in  the 
above  li^od,  the  quantity  of  gas  burned  at  the  different  rates 
shall  be  calculated  as  being  in  proportion  to  the  number  of  days 
elapsing  between  the  beginning  or  ending  of  the  rate  for  mixed 
gas  and  the  day  when  the  met^  is  actually  read.  Pirovkled, 
ho>we¥er,  that  if  any  consmner  shall  believe  that  the  prorating 
by  the  nun^r  of  days  (as  provided  for  above)  will,  in  his  case, 
work  a  hardship  on  him,  he  may,  in  writing,  demand  that  his 
meter  shall  be  actually  read  as  nearly  as  possible  to  the  dates 
inovided  for  the  begihninir  and  the  endin<g  of  the  rates  for  nuxed 
gas,  so  as  to  determine  the  exact  amount  of  mixed  gas  actually 
consumed  by  him. 

The  rates  set  out  in  this  ordinance  are  the  net  rates  to  be 
paid  by  the  consumer.  Bills  shall  be  made  out  for  amounts 
enough  in  excess  of  these  rates  as  to  yield  the  rates  provided  for 
after  a  discount  of  ten  (10)  per  cent  has  been  deducted  for 
prompt  payment  as  defined  in  the  ordinance  of  March  29,  1913. 
which  created  the  frandhise  under  which  the  Louisville  Gas  & 
Electric  Company  is  operating.  If  bills  are  not  paid  promptly 
so  as  to  entitle  them  to  the  discount,  then  the  full  amount  will 
be  collected  as  provided  in  the  franchise.

"Kentucky  Statutes  2988:  (Owners  and  Fiduciaries  to  re- 
turn lists— Proceedings  in  Case  of  Failure).  Every  person 
owning  or  holding  taxable  property,  in  his  own  right,  or  as  a 
fiduciary,  guardian  or  agent,  shall  return  to  the  assessor,  or 
his  assistant,  a  true  list  of  such  property,  real  and  personal 
upon  blanks  therefor  prepared  by  the  Assessor,  in  the  form 
prescribed  by  ordinance,  together  with  the  value  of  all  per- 
sonalty,  and  make  oath  before  said  assessor  or  one  of  his 
assistants.  Should  the  assessor  conclude  that  in  any  list  so  filed 
the  taxpayer  has  either  omitted  to  list  any  of  his  property 
subject  to  taxation,  or  has  valued  any  property  so  listed  too 
low,  the  assessor  may  assess  the  property  so  omitted,  or  raise 
the  valuation  of  the  property  which  he  considers  to  be  assessed 
too  k>w,  and  shall  thereupon  send  notice  through  the  mail  to 
the  owner  or  holder  either  that  he  has  assessed  the  property 
omitted,  or  raised  the  valuation  of  the  property  assessed  too 
low,  as  the  case  may  be. 

"Any  person  thus  notified  may,  within  fifteen  days  after 
the  mailing  of  a  notice  to  him,  file  in  the  assessor's  office  a 
complaint  either  that  the  property  which  the  assessor  has  thus 
assessed,  is  not  subject  to  assessment,  or  that  the  valuation 
which  the  assessor  has  put  upon  his  property  is  too  high,  as 
the  case  may  be.  If  any  person  file  such  a  complaint  within  said 
time  the  assessment  shall  not  become  binding,  nor  shall  any 
bill  be  issued  thereon  until  it  be  passed  upon  by  the  Board  of 
Equalization,  as  other  such  matters  are  passed  upon  by  said 
Board.

Providing  for  Conditioiis  Under  Which  Home  Telephone 

Company  May  Operate. 

AN  ORDINANCE  prescribing  the  terms  and  conditions  under 
wiiich  the  Louisville  Home  Telephone  Company  may 
operate  its  telephone  systena,  and  use  the  public  ways  in 
the  City  of  Louisville,  for  the  period  of  one  year ;  and  re- 
quiring that  upon  the  failure  of  said  company  to  comply 
^ith  the  conditions  hereof,  it  shall  remove  its  lines,  poles 
and  equipment  from  the  public  ways  of  said  city;  and  pro- 
viding penalties  for  violations  hereof. 

WHEREAS,  the  franchise  of  the  Louisville  Home  Tele- 
phone Company  has  expired,  and  no  new  franchise  has  been 
granted  it;  and 

WHEREAS,  there  are  now  two  telephone  systems  in  the 
City  of  Louisville  operated  under  separate  ownerships  and 
managements  (one  of  which  is  that  of  the  Louisville  Home 
Telephone  Company),  with  the  result  that  there  is  much  dupli- 
cation of  telephone  service,  and  the  expense  and  annoyance  of 
such  duplicate  operation  is  burdoisome  upon  the  public,  and 
it  is  believed  that  a  consolidation  or  merger  of  said  systems 
would  be  of  distinct  advantage,  not  only  to  the  people  of  Louis- 
ville, but  to  the  owners  of  said  systems  as  well,  and  that  there 


1442 


TELEPHONE  RATES 


should  be  only  one  telephone  system  in  said  city  with  proper 
reg^ulations  thereof  as  to  rates  and  service,  and, 

WHEREA'S,  if  a  consolidation  or  merger  of  said  systems 
may  be  had  upon  proper  terms,  and  within  the  period  herein 
set  forth,  it  will  be  unnecessary  for  a  new  franchise  to  be 
granted  or  sold  to  the  Lbuisville  Home  Telephone  Company, 

and, 

WHEREAS,  if  it  should  finally  be  determined  that  a  new 
franchise  should  be  granted  to  the  Louisville  Home  Telephone 
Company,  because  of  the  fluctuating  condition  of  prices  at  this 
time  and  the  abnormal  business  conditions  which  yet  obtain 
following  the  war  and  its  close,  it  is  very  difficult  to  now  de- 
termine what  would  be  just  and  proper  rates  for  such  telephone 
service  for  a  new  franchise  period,  and  at,  or  near,  the  close 
of  the  period  herein  named,  it  is  believed  that  prices  and  busi- 
ness conditions  will  be  much  mm  staMe  than  at  present,  and 
that  if  it  is  then  determined  that  such  new  franchise  should  be 
granted,  it  will  be  easier  for  the  General  Council  to  then  de- 
termine what  are  the  just  and  equitable  rates  to  be  provided 
therein;  Therefore: 

Be  it  ordamed  by  the  General  CouncU  of  the  City  of  LouiaviUe: 

§  1.  That  the  Louisville  Home  Telephone  Company  may
